She Only Cares About Cultivation

"After asking, I found out, ’My mom has been practicing yoga with her for many years. She is really self-disciplined, she streams live every day. My mom is so lazy, yet she can keep up with her pace, it’s truly incredible.’

’My mom is learning Chinese calligraphy with her. It’s a really beautiful script, the horizontal and vertical strokes are so artistic.’

’My mom learned embroidery and Chinese cooking from Aunt Qi Qi. Her embroidery is really nice, but bringing up Hua Country constantly feels uncomfortable, that’s clearly the art of our country.’

Qi Peng automatically ignored the last sentence because since coming here, he has heard too many similar comments like ’That’s ours, not yours.’ Hearing it often made him too lazy to argue, so he let them say what they wanted. Anyway, they know the truth in their hearts; just letting them enjoy talking isn’t a big deal.

This situation continued until the end of the semester, during the learning report presentation and parent-teacher meeting, when everyone found out the only Chinese student in class was actually the son of Hua Country’s internet celebrity, Qi Qi. Who knew this parent-teacher meeting would turn into what? It was practically a fan meeting!

Since Qi Qi could speak H language, among her clients, there were also H Country people, so there was no barrier in communication when she came over.

She didn’t expect a normal parent-teacher meeting to turn out this way. Despite the awkwardness, she had to manage her skills well; a career woman handling these housewives was completely stress-free. Because of this, when Qi Peng returned home, his phone’s communication apps were flooded with various greetings from classmates.

Even classmates who usually didn’t speak with him sent kind New Year wishes, which made Qi Peng quite reflective.

’Mom, you’re being too high-profile, aren’t you?’

Qi Qi, feeling wronged: ’My style is very down-to-earth, it’s you. Mom’s popularity is too big; I didn’t expect it would catch on abroad. But this is good too, you won’t be bullied outside, nor will anyone dare to isolate you. Sometimes you have to acknowledge the benefits fame can bring. Our company has been introducing some H Country internet celebrities these past two years, as long as there’s profit, you’ll be safe over there, don’t worry too much, just do what you need to do!’

H Country also has summer and winter vacations, their winter vacation starts in mid-December, earlier than back home, but Qi Peng only returned home for a week before enrolling in a winter camp for dance training. After Qi Yue’s winter vacation started, she was also sent to H Country, found a coach, and learned street dance and jazz dance. On one hand, she could accompany her brother; on the other hand, she could experience a different living environment than at home.

Considering Qi Peng’s time in H Country, Qi Qi specifically rented them a set of rooms that are warm in winter and cool in summer, hired a domestic worker to come every day to cook, clean, and transport them to school, covering food and lodging at 150,000 per month, roughly nine thousand yuan RMB. This considered the two children and the winter vacation; once school starts, there’s no need for housekeeping, as Qi Peng attends a boarding private elementary school, with an annual fee reaching one hundred thousand RMB.

This private school focuses on main subjects in the morning, while afternoons and evenings are filled with various interest-based subjects, dance being very detailed. Qi Peng learns a bit of everything; the more he learns, the stronger his adaptability becomes. During weekends, he goes to professional training institutions, with annual tuition, board, and training fees approximately 300,000 RMB.

This is only for elementary school; once reaching middle school, the costs will increase.

By summer vacation, apart from sending Qi Yue to learn dance, Qi Qi will also dispatch a Chinese teacher. Math and English are also learned in H Country, since Qi Peng and they learned English with her from a young age and enrolled in one-on-one online courses. Having extensive English exposure, his grades are not bad, although math doesn’t require the same high standards as at home, he can keep up with the pace. Their main daily subject is H language; she cannot let her son forget his native language. Winter vacation is short, so no worries there, but summer vacation is longer, at least two and a half months. Getting a native language teacher over there is most appropriate.

Aunt Chen also went along since Qi Peng and Qi Yue couldn’t get used to their local cuisine, so Aunt went to take care of their meals.

Qi Peng is already familiar with the environment there, and although he can go by himself, having Qi Yue along means he needs colleagues to assist with transportation since Qi Qi doesn’t trust H Country people, especially when it comes to girls, ensuring protection is essential.
